My Frameable Notecards at Somerville’s Hope and Glory
Posted in Photography, Photography Exhibits on March 29, 2009| Leave a Comment »
Hope and Glory is a lovely little shop located in the heart of Union Square in Somerville, MA. Owned and operated by Sandra Fails, the place has a warm, welcoming atmosphere and is chock full of beautiful vintage and hand crafted items. The decor is constantly changing as the inexpensive items move in and out of the store. My notecards are currently sprinkled throughout. Right now, you’ll find them tucked behind Depression era stemware, nestled in mahogany drawers, and resting against lace cushions in an antique baby bed.

Rambler Magazine Accepts Photo for Future Use
Posted in Photography, Publication Updates on March 1, 2009| 1 Comment »
On a day when I received numerous “nice work but not our style” rejection notes, it was wonderful to receive word from Rambler Magazine that the editors liked one of several pictures that I had sent and would like to, possibly, use it in the future. Meanwhile, the current issue of the magazine is available, and as always, it appears to be a beauty of text and imagery.

I’m happy to announce that the Winter2009 issue of Life Images is on newsstands. Inside you’ll find a picture by moi. While proud to have a photo on display, to be honest, I am mostly humbled to be included in the company of such great photographers. The beautiful cover only gives you a hint of the glorious images that are in between.

Sitting on the Front Porch
Posted in Contributing Writer, Publication Updates on November 23, 2008| 1 Comment »
One of the themes I tend to explore in my writing is the influence of place/geography on who we are and what we do. I grew up in Virginia, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Just as Pearl S. Buck wrote of The Good Earth, there are times when I think I could write about The Red Earth because that was the color of the soil of my childhood. Red clay. Blue sky. Rolling green hills. It’s an idyllic description and it is real … as real as the less beatific images of the American South.
My Hometown of Lynchburg, Virginia
Having lived outside of the south for so long, one of the images that I admit as having taken on mythic qualities in my mind is that of the front porch. I have written a bit about my own experiences on the front porch in Virginia. The following essay was originally published in the Southern Arts Journal, and then revised for Terrain.org.

Coming Sooon – “Feathers” in Redivider
Posted in Publication Updates on November 18, 2008| Leave a Comment »
Redivider, A Journal of New Literature and Art, was named one of the top ten literary journals in New England. I’m very proud that the editors selected “Feathers” to appear in an upcoming issue. You can read about the journal at the Redivider website – http://www.redividerjournal.org/ – and here’s a link to the Boston Globe article surveying the region’s literary journals. http://www.boston.com/ae/books/articles/2008/08/24/journalemismem/?page=2
